Brace v Torquay away 10/8/04 in between a beauty from Stuart Green...Next game scored in the 90th at Port Vale only to concede in the 92min....Now where have I heard that before.

If he had not been injured vs Huddersfelt, he'd have bagged 40 goals that campaign.

He really could have broken all sorts of records without that injury. What a season he was having.
 
I recall a night match at Blackpool around that time when Elliott seemed to have about three touches during the entire match and scored two goals to see us win. One of them was fired in from the inside left channel from 15 yards, it might be the hardest struck shot I’ve ever witnessed.
 
Always liked him.
I'm sure if you asked him he would not have taken the Palace job if he could do it all again.
Sometimes manager fits a club and he did ours.

Wasn't the Blackpool game played over the chrimbo period? I could be wrong about that....Their pitch was like a cabbage patch. The ball never ran true so we never got any moves going. Still we won 2-0 despite the playing surface.

Might have been his best goal, but the most celebrated:

3. The header in the 1-0 win versus Swansea in 2003. There was something special in the air that night. We knew Taylor was on to something good from that moment on, I think.
2. The last-minute winner against QPR in 2007. People will tell you that Stuart Elliott was a disappointment in the Championship. But he scored seven goals in our first season up there, a decent return for any winger. And he scored those two goals against that hateful, hateful QPR side, which turned out to be crucial in the end.
1. The last winner versus Donny, Christmas 2004. Donny were more of an irritant than a genuine rival, but we really wanted to beat them that night after all their crowing the season before. When Barmby got sent off because Jermaine McSporran stamped on him on the floor it looked like we'd have to settle for a draw. Not so. Elliott's anticipation, running with the ball and finish made for a special, special end to a game that felt huge at the time.

It was a toss-up for the top spot to be honest. And I didn't even mention the braces against Luton and Blackpool, or that brilliant winner against Plymouth.
that qpr game was brilliant, 2 last minute goals from him wasn't it?
 
Former Hull City boss Peter Taylor is back in football management. The 69-year-old has taken over as boss at non-league Maldon & Tiptree.

Maldon and Tiptree ply their trade in the eighth-tier of English football. They currently sit third from bottom in the Isthmian North Division with just three wins from their opening 17 games.

If he is worth his salt he will preserve their status.

Sounds like a posh pub in some lovely Berkshire village or somewhere. 'I say woman. I'm just off to the Maldon and Tiptree for a swift one...'

Maldon is way too close to Chelmsford to be considered posh although marginally better than Southend I suppose.
